The Human Melodeon.

First let the leader or organist (who
should be somewhat of musician),
select, to represent the notes of the
scale, eight girls or boys, who must be
sufficiently musical to sing and to re-
member the notes assigned them. The
organiSt plays on their heads, Us they
kneel in u row, exactly rs if they were
the notes of n piano, except that, TO
the audience, the scale appears revers-
ed. But this is TO have it in the right
order for the organist. The tunes Sc
lected must obviously be in the key
of G, with no sharps or flats. As each
head is struck with the mallet, the per-
son indicated must sing his or her note
in q short staccato way. using the syl.
liable la. If the head is struck twice,
the note must be repeated in exactly
the same way.
The hymn tune antioch is an ex-
cellent one with which to begin. The
organist strikes the head of upper &C"
at the right, then "B, then "a" then
quickly &C. then IF. p" "E," ID"
&C" then &c" "a" A. again. .'B,"
''B' again, &C." and so on. For con.
venience, as the cards bearing the let
tiers face the audience, not the organist,
the tunes can be written in the "Hu-
man Melodeon' notation. Instead OF
the notes, are written the names of the
performers-Sue Hattie. Jane. Sally,
Tom, Frank, Mary, George, or what
ever they are.
The Last Rose of Summer" begin
ming on lower C." "Rig-a-jig-jig.p on
&c" and Hush, my Dear, Lie still
and Slnmber,' on ''E, can also be
played.
The simple sounds already described
represent the cor humana stops. The
trenaoio is made by striking the mouth
rapidly two or three times with the
open hand as the note is sung.-Delid

t. w. HiggiEson is credited with tell
ing racy anccdote in regard to James
Russell Lowell According to Mr.. Hig-
ginson, one of the Adirondack guides
expresses the opinion that Mr.. Lowell
is ian ignorant cuss,' and backs up
the characterization with this bill Of
particulars.
"Well, / was out with him in a ca
noe, and we were going down stream
with the current. and making first-rate
time, and he didn't know any better
than to insist that we should go over to
the other side Of the stream just to get
in the shade of the bank out Of the sun;
and we didn't get ahead at all. Now !
call a man that don't know enough to
take advantage of the current in a ca
noe blamed ignoramus.
The same critical Adirondack guide,
or one of his professional brethren,
figures in another story, which is also
told at the expense of Mr.. Lowell's in
telligence. Said the guide in question
to a gentleman whom he met in the
woods and who mentioned that he came
from Boston:

The views of those two gentlemen prob

INTERSTATE COMMERCE,
Some of the Ways In Which the Law AT
fects Travel

All persons except ministers of the Cos
pei must pay full fare.

days notice, posting tariffs in the sta
tiOnS.
A lower rate cannot be given for longer

more than that for conveyance to any in
termediate station.
No theatrical rates or passes to agents.
In regard to passes, the law applies to
travel between States only passes may
be given from one town to another in the

YOUNG DEBERVILL'S DEATH.
Was the Escape of Gas in His Room an
Accident Mysterious Letters Found.

Was the Escape of Gas in His Room an
Accident Mysterious Letters Found.
Brief notices of the sudden demise of
Henry Debervill of Hinesburgh at the
the Bates House, Rutland, on the Goth
inst, suggested more careful inquiry to
correspondent of the Free Press as to
the peculiar circumstances connected
with the case and he elected the follow
ing:
1t seems that Deberville has been
student under Mr.. E...G. Evans of the Bur-
lington business college, but his home
being in Hinesburgh, he was rather I'M
sophisticated. He had been acting in the
capacity of salesman for Arhuckle q Co.,
but very few days. when he arrived at
the Bates House Wednesday evening, an d
after spending short time in the rotunda,
he retired
AT about $50 the following morning the
clerk of the house, suspecting that all
was not right, repaired to Mr.. Debervills
room, and, taking glance through the
transOm window above the door, found
the man breathing heavily and in deep
stupor, from which, after forcing an en-
trance, the clerk was unable to arouse
him. Medical aid was at once summoned
and the united efforts of two physicians
and two nurses were of no avail, and he
passed away at 1870 Friday night. The
poor fellow had retired without opening
either the transom or the larger window,
and the room was found to be we'll filled
with gas when the unfortunate man was
discovered.
On the roof of a small ell building just
under the window of the room occupied
by Debervill, was found deposited
large amount of undigestible food of
which evidently he had ridden his stom-
ach, although there are no grounds for a
suspicion that he had been dissipating as
he had the reputation of being thorough
ly temperate man of good moral charac-
ter. His reason for leaving his home at
Hinesburgh, was the old story of sons
ambition, and with a mothers love ever
uppermost in his mind, it is hard to think
even that he met death by any other cause
than ignorance of the use of gas. At the
same time there was found outside of his
window, two letter heads of the Brandon
hotel, on which were written disconnect-
ed and almost unintelligible sentences, in
which were incorporated the words, EN-
ployment," encouragement" the names
of his employers and that of his former
teacher, the whole addressed ito father
and mother" but uncompleted and I'M
signed. When found he had on his person
suit of heavy uaderclothing including
stockings, also white shirt. 1t is at
least curious to note that on a very COM
Portable night, a man should retire in
In that condition, and in closed room
without ventilation.
Debervill's remains were taken to Hines
burgh on Saturday by his parents and
brother, who arrived about half an hour
previous to the boys demise. The funer-
al took place at Hinesburgh on Monday,
from the home of his father, John Deber-
will.

fair chance to elect its best man next
